Choose a motivating conference to boost commitment and productivity.

With the return of the vacations and the arrival of cool, grey weather, motivation can be low in the autumn. This is where motivational conferences can be beneficial, as they bring a dose of energy and can improve employee engagement and productivity.

With his “Pleine Confiance” conference, Guy Bourgeois explores the human principles that lead people to have more confidence in themselves, overcome their fears and achieve a higher level of success. Because confidence is the driving force behind every achievement, and without it, everything falls apart. This conference promises to give you “Full Confidence” to move to the full power of your potential!

In “L’éloge des accidents”, Denis Bouchard tackles subjects such as life, teamwork, stress management, surpassing oneself and self-confidence. With his talents as a director and comedian, he’ll make you laugh more than once. In his talk, he encourages people to seize the opportunities that come their way, even if they’re the result of setbacks, and to get out of their comfort zone to adapt and survive.

Success stories are always a winner.

Quebec chef and entrepreneur Louis-François Marcotte shares his own story at conferences, but is especially interested in the stories of those around him and those who attend. He adapts to his audience to tackle subjects such as buying local or corporate crisis management, but always comes back to the importance of finding the right balance in everything we do, with passion and rigor. His talk, “Passion et rigueur: le juste équilibre”, is an important reminder that balance is essential for a happy and successful life.

One way to motivate your teams to achieve their goals is to offer them concrete examples of success. Why not offer a talk by a local entrepreneur who has succeeded in his or her field?
